   In this episode, I chat with Irene Morning about the healing power of non-monogamous relationships, why nervous system care is REQUIRED for exploring non-monogamy, and how to use pleasure to expand your capacity. Together we explore: What are consensual non-monogamy and polyamory relationships Why people may be interested in exploring these types of relationships The importance of communication skills and understanding your nervous system capacity in relationships How to begin exploring non-monagamy so you don't overwhelm your nervous system and actually set yourself up for success Combining somatic skills and relational skills to support healthy non-monogamy How differentiating between jealousy and envy can lead to more clarity Moving at the pace of the 'slowest' person in opening up a relationship What the relationship escalator is and why it can be better for your relationship to do it your way, like living separately, instead of following social norms Expanding the notion of pleasure with Irene’s framework of four realms of pleasure The role of pleasure in healing from trauma and expanding nervous system capacity Using pleasure as a guide for making relationship decisions and setting boundaries Irene guides us in a five senses somatic body scan that explores pleasure through the senses Irene Morning, an innovative somatic pleasure coach, intimacy educator, polyamorous human, and author of the bestselling book, The Polyamory Paradox: Finding Your Confidence in Consensual Non-Monogamy.
